Enrollment

          To be enrolled in the Religious Education Program at Saint Vincent Ferrer Church, you must be a registered and active parishioner, and supporting the parish as best as you can through the Offertory envelope system.  This system is the only way we have of knowing if you are regularly worshipping with us.  (This is important when requesting Sponsor Certificates when you are asked to be a godparent for Baptism or sponsor for Confirmation).  Families who have inconsistent attendance patterns at Mass are considered to be inactive members and consequently are placed on a waiting list for the CCD Program.  Classes fill up rapidly and we have an obligation to accommodate those parishioners who actively participate in the life of the parish through Sunday Mass attendance and financial support all year round, including summertime.  It’s only fair. 

          To assist the CCD Office, please enter your envelope number in the appropriate place on the registration form.  Your weekly contribution to the parish allows us to keep the cost of religious education at a minimum.  The fees listed below do not cover all the costs of the entire Religious Education program.  This is why everyone’s weekly contribution is important.  If you need to register and/or receive envelopes, please contact Diane in the Church Office. 

          Regardless of past enrollment in the CCD Program, no student is automatically pre-registered.  We take nothing for granted.  You must register for the CCD Program each year.

          Most support this beautiful parish regularly and I am grateful to you.  Books and supplies are expensive; the education of our children is an investment in their future as faithful Catholics and good citizens of our country.  The fees for this year remain the same as last year:

 

 

          One child                $45

          Two Children           $70

          Three or more        $100

Kindergarten is $35 and is held during the Liturgy of the Word at the 10:30am Mass.

          We must order books and supplies by mid-August so that everything is ready when we begin in September.  When registrations are late, books are ordered late, are not here when the program begins, and your children do not have what they need to begin their studies.  From the start, they already fall behind.  So please register by August 15.

          Junior High (grades 7 & 8) and High School Confirmation (grades 9 & 10) are separate academic programs and have separate registrations.  Call the CCD Office @ 723-0782.

          We are blessed to have a dedicated and experienced Director of Religious Education, Stephen Kenny who is ably assisted by a group of enthusiastic, faithful, and volunteer catechists.  They do not get paid for their efforts; they teach because they love the Lord, His children, and this parish.  Please support them in every way you can in making sure homework assignments are completed on time, and in good order. 

          A special thanks to all who made last year’s program such a success.  I was so impressed with the good will and academic performance of the students.  Many classes participated in various charitable fund-raisers that benefited several worthy organizations.  I was so proud to be associated with your kids!  Plans for the coming year have only just begun and Mr. Kenny and I look forward to working with you and your children. 

 

                                      Sincerely yours in Christ the Lord,

 

                                      Reverend Father Kevin J. Forsyth, Pastor
